If Sterling properly interpreted Rossi - i.e. - "According to Rossi, NI will be creating the controls to monitor and regulate this process. He said that their stipulation for the agreement is that all the instrumentation for the E-Cat plants have "by National Instruments" and logo on the instrumentation panels."
- then I am inclined to believe Jed Rothwell. Merely selling Rossi some stock/standard software would probably not merit NI a logo on each control panel, and I would have thought NI would have disclaimed the credit Rossi gave them. I am a bit more inclined to think Rossi is real, but has a very slippery system to control which has stability problems and an optimal operating point which bobs and weaves continuously. If LENR is genuine, the parameter space may be enormous, and suffer the "curse of dimensionality." That would explain why replicating results is like looking for a needle in a 100 haystacks. Hopefully, he is on the level about having sold a 1-MW plant to a less publicity-shy customer. > On Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 12:17 PM, Craig Haynie > <cchayniepub...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hello! >> >> On Sat, 2011-12-24 at 15:10 -0500, Jed Rothwell wrote: >> >> > I do not know, but I do know that a VP at NI wrote to a major business >> > magazine and confirmed that they are working on a control system for >> > Rossi... >> >> How do you know?
